| Description: | Trent Call, the artist of the character shetch for this piece, is a professional artist who's work spans many mediums, and many styles. One day when Admiral was visiting Trent in his studio, Admiral suggested that it would be a lot of fun to make a model(and subsequently, a toy) of one of Trent's 1920s style characters. No less than two days later, Admiral was ecstatic to find this character sketch in his inbox, ready to start modeling. A bit about the character itself: Don't let the apparent innocence of this character's Candy-Corn nose, Mickey Mouse gloves and 1920s cartoon style fool you; in some of Trent's other works, this character has been seen boozing it up from bottles labeled with no fewer than 3 Xs, and smoking stogies of questionable content. When asked about the character's origins and intentions, Trent is quoted as saying: "I don't know. He's just some devil guy I draw. Just some cool dude, you know?" Due to far too much life chaos, this particular model had been put on the back burner for almost 5 months since it's start date. At long last, this model has reached it's Beta phase! Only bones, posing, and a bit of texmap tweaking by Trent remain before this one is complete. Expect to see this one in a certain Shapeways store soon! Admiral's time-log on this particular model was as follows:
